Saw my first night launch a few months back. Perfect view at Port Canaveral about 10 miles away.
I should also hear the booms here shortly.

Strange how such a beautiful landing can be so sad.
Welcome home Discovery.

Safe landing! I’m wondering why they are retiring the shuttles?
To: Ramius
On Fox they just said that the spot on the runway where she stopped will get a permanent marker. Kinda’ cool, that.

They’re aging. The bigger question is why don’t we have a suitable replacement vehicle yet.
